The critically acclaimed play YOU ARE NOW THE OWNER OF THIS SUITCASE makes its Manhattan premiere! It’s already at the top of NYTheatre.com’s Hot List. A contemporary magic realist story… A young woman arriving from Ecuador accidentally switches suitcases with a mysterious stranger. Her quest to recover the missing suitcase will lead her to encounter lovers, dreamers, fighters, an enchanted cell phone, books that come to life, and the best guitar player in the world. Seven authors created this play, combining magic realism with urban grit, melding multiple styles into one voice. Inspired by international folk tales collected in the most diverse neighborhood in the world — tales hailing from Burma, China, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Korea, Latin America, Mexico, Pakistan, Persia, Thailand, and beyond. Fun and appropriate for all ages.
